Solidarity / Responsibility / Manifesto: One of the most profound reflections on the Cuban Revolution. The film centers on Sergio who did not leave the country after Castro's revolution like so many others. He stayed in Cuba not out of conviction, but out of convenience. He spends his days mainly talking to himself, recording himself on tape, and observing the changes taking place around him from the balcony of his luxurious high-rise apartment. He tries to write his memoirs, to remember the old times and to analyze and understand the new ones.
